According
to Investigators, a Texas woman is facing an assault charge after
allegedly biting off and swallowing a large chunk of the nose of a
female victim. 41-year-old Jessica Collins was arrested Thursday for
the bloody attack in Spring, a Houston suburb.
Collins
was staying with a female neighbor of the 28-year-old victim. After
spending Wednesday evening at a local bar, the three women returned
to the victim’s home, where Collins--seeking to keep the party
going--asked her host for booze and cigarettes.
Instead,
the victim asked Collins to leave her residence, a request that
allegedly prompted Collins to attack the woman. After yanking the
victim to the floor by her hair, Collins allegedly bit off a large
piece from the bridge of the woman’s nose.

The
Tennessee Department of Health says its investigation continues into
gastrointestinal illness that affected more than 500 people who
visited a zipline attraction. Officials have said E. coli bacteria
caused the sickness, but the Health Department said Thursday that
some people who visited the facility east of Gatlinburg since June 15
have tested positive for norovirus. Tne tested positive for norovirus
and E. coli. Deputy
State Epidemiologist John Dunn says it's not possible yet to
determine one cause of the outbreak. He says the water system at the
facility may have contributed but that other sources such as
contaminated surfaces and person-to-person transmission are also
likely. The state said CLIMB Works Zipline Canopy Tour is cooperating
with the investigation and recommendations. The company has offered
refunds to those sickened.

In
England, a Devon & Cornwall Police officer expressed his shock
after seeing pictures of a car which had a bucket for a seat and
required the motorist to use a pair of pliers to steer it. Norfolk
and Suffolk's Road and Policing Firearms Operation Unit tweeted out a
picture of the badly damaged car, which was also missing a bumper and
headlights and had a flat tire. The force posted an image of the car
in the early hours of Friday morning, and wrote: “Yes, this was
driven on a road and yes, he was sitting on a bucket and steering
with a pair of mole grips.” PC Jon Parker from Norfolk Police
retweeted the post with the comment: “I think this is the most
unroadworthy car I've ever seen. Ridiculous that it was driven on a
public road in this condition.” (https://goo.gl/qyWCKD)

Arizona
authorities say a 44-year-old uniformed security guard is accused of
impersonating a police officer by trying to pull over an unmarked car
that happened to contain two state troopers patrolling a Phoenix
freeway. The Department of Public Safety says Matthew Allen Disbro of
Mesa was driving his personal black Dodge Charger on Wednesday when
he activated law-enforcement-style emergency lights on his car to
pull over the troopers' yellow Ford Mustang. According to the
department, the troopers wouldn't pull over. Disbro then drove
alongside, yelled, and waved a hand at the troopers to get them to
pull over before they activated their own vehicle's police lights and
pulled him over. (https://goo.gl/ckhKwy)
